    This game has a pretty cool game case, basically like World Of Warcraft box with opening flap at front.
    Comes with World Of Warcraft 10 day guess pass and two Stacraft II guest pass, if anyone wants one just ask.

    Just got my collectors edition.

    Yea I'm letting my cousin use my two passes to see if he wants it.

    I've only waited 12 years and a few months for this, and finally I am installing the sequel to one of my all time favorites.

    Picked up my copy last night, and I'm loving it! It is a little laggy on my mac but its still awesome to have after waiting all this time.

    Anybody interested in getting a game going on Battle.net?

    YO... I NEED HELP ASAP. I bought the thing. Download went to 100% and finished, then I try to launch the game... it says I need a patch, "Would you like to download it"... and the patch does not start downloading. It just keeps repeating the question. I didn't have Beta or anything... I just ordered it and installed it today. I couldn't find any links for a latest patch. Game came out today, why the hell would you need a new patch to play anyway???

    I bought the collector's edition and had to download a patch as well but it worked for me. I will ask my friend who DL'ed it like you see if he figured it out.

    But my impressions of this game is amazing. It feels like SC which is good. But there is enough new things and improvements that make this game just awesome. I love it. I've been playing for 7 hours straight and just can't stop. Just like the original time flies and I'm having too much fun.

    Story is good, I love the Voice Acting and music, took me a while to get use to it but its awesome. And just all the stuff with Mensk is awesome, truly SC2 is a wonderful game. I'll be addicted for years to come I figure.

    So I like most of you loved SC1. Bought it when I was about 12....and I have to say...the wait was worth it for me.

    For other commentors saying "its like SC1 in one sense but in another its a completely different game" this is a perfect way to describe it. Its like SC1 in the learning curve is just learning all the new tech and soldiers for each race :)

    Animations in game are soo awesome. I love everything about it even when the Terran Marines fire their rifles the mussle flashes light them up from the front. Its little things like that that go such a long way visually.

    This is a great strategy game and Im so happy I pre ordered it.

    Edit: Fat Tonie glad ya got it too! Now go tear up some campaign and meet us on the battlefield!

    Sigh... my slow ass comp can't even handle single player unless you want to wait more than SHH lag on its worst days... ordered a bigger memory card though. Have to say, the graphics are a bit meh. The way units die is still pretty unrealistic. Maybe it is just my ****ty graphic card, but I did expect massive improvements visually. I'll reserve judgment until I get a better feel. Just not feeling it at the moment. Still got two more expansions so who knows?

    The adventure element of single player runs in-engine.

    Just finished.

    Wow, nice to see Raynor saved the girl AND survived. I was sure he was going to take a bullet for her and die at the end from Tychus, shame he turned out to be "bad", I rather liked him, but when I watched the intro cinematic it was clear he was working for Mengsk due to the fact that they practically out and out said it.

    Still, wow - some nice scenes especially at the end with the invasion of Char. I 'm wondering who's going to be in control of the Zerg in the next campaign. Presumably the Cerberate we played as in SC1/Brood War is still alive. Can Kerrigan exert control over the Zerg despite having being "cured", that would certainly be a game changer in terms of the horrible apocalypse future Zeratul showed Raynor.

    Also I said it before but it bears saying again I WISH they had gotten more of the original voice actors back.

    I'll take my chances... I just had to upgrade my memory to run the damn thing although my comp is old. If I need a new card I'm gonna be pissed. Already 100 dollars into this ****. Been worth it thus far and I haven't even tried multiplayer yet.

    Why, did your card get fried too? My memory was just a side issue. Below minimum requirements. My graphics are nowhere near as good as those stills you posted above. Don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing after reading that article.

    I tell you what I love the shield upgrade for the Marines. It makes early game infantry attacks FAR more effective.

    Dang... been playing for two days and I'm in the top 10 for a platinum league division... how does this ranking **** work? I'm only playing Terran since I am familiar with only them because of the SP campaign.

    Infantry seems like the only effective weapons. Medivacs are absolutely sick. Tanks aren't as dominant as they were in SC1 which is a real bummer. Vikings are absolutely gas... waste of a unit. I also don't like how mech is almost irrelevant now. Hellions are crap and Thor's are way overdone... I think they got a little carried away when they put that in there. The Schwarzenegger voice is also pushing it. Not as good as SC1, but how could it be?
